Question

In ΔJKL, ∠J equals (4x - 3) degrees, ∠K equals (3x + 18) degrees, and ∠L equals (5x - 3) degrees. What is the value of x?

Option 1: 5
Option 2: 7
Option 3: 9
Option 4: 11

Answer 1

The value of x in the given triangle is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x in the given triangle, we need to set up an equation using the angle measurements. Since the angles in any triangle add up to 180 degrees, we can write the equation: (4x - 3) + (3x + 18) + (5x - 3) = 180. Combining like terms, we get 12x + 12 = 180. Solving for x, we find x = 15. Therefore, none of the provided options match the solution.
